FIRST: Mount the External Antenna
Choosing the best location for the External Antenna
provides the best performance and the largest
area of improved signal. Determine the location
that provides the strongest signal (generally found
on the roof ) using the signal strength indicator on
your cell phone.
In the area of best signal, identify the best
location for attachment of the mounting bracket
– such as an attic cross or main beam and place
the External Antenna at or near that location.
Important: Assemble the External Antenna
mounting bracket as shown below.
Keep the External Antenna at least 3 feet above
any metal such as wiring, A/C ducts, metal siding,
truss plates, etc. When connecting the cable to
the antenna, run the cable straight down from the
antenna. Avoid draping the coax near the antenna.
Antenna Bracket Assembly
IMPORTANT:
Incorrectly mounting the External
Antenna to the mounting bracket (see figure A)
will impede performance. Ensure that the External
Antenna is properly positioned in the mounting bracket
as pictured.
To mount antenna to a pole:
Attach bottom of antenna
to pole bracket as pictured. Use U-Bolt to secure bracket
to pole and fasten.
To mount antenna to a flat surface:
Attach bottom
of antenna to pole bracket as pictured. Secure bracket
to desired surface using provided screws. Use of the
Saddle and U-Bolt are not necessary for this option.
